About this map

Tippecanoe River clips the southeastern corner of this region in White County, marking a distinct change in the landscape from the surrounding agricultural grid. The area is defined by an intricate network of managed waterways, where the Big Monon Cr and the extensive Big Monon Ditch serve as the primary conduits for drainage across the flat Indiana plains. This system of channels, including Harp Ditch, Weltzin Ditch, and Hubbell Ditch, illustrates the intensive engineering required to maintain the productivity of these prairie lands. The layout reveals a meticulously planned section-line road system, such as Co RD-1350 and W 700 S, which partitions the territory into a steady rhythm of family farms. Near the southern edge, Carlson Ditch and Hill Ditch further emphasize the hydrological management that has shaped the local rural economy into the 21st century.
